Fashionable
Storage
Boxes and file folders intended for storage can be just as fashion savvy
as the rest of the decorated room. Use beautiful wallpaper or a favorite
decorator fabric to transform plain cardboard boxes
and utilitarian file folders into decorator
accent pieces. And the rest of the roll offers plenty of extra paper for
coordinating shelf liners and decorative boxes. Regularly used boxes and
files can be left on display and within arms reach when covered to coordinate
with the room.
Tips & Creative Alternatives:
- Cardboard boxes and accordion file folders can be found in any office
supply store or stationery catalogue. Many have on-line sources.
- Use lidded boxes of the light weight gift - style or heavier corrugated
style cardboard.
- Accordion files are available with an open top as pictured or apply
the same principles to cover the closed top style in which the back
cover is longer and flaps to the front, then closes.
- Before you shop for fabric or wallpaper, measure your box or file
folder and draw the pattern pieces (Steps 1 - 4) to determine the amount
of fabric and fusible web needed.
